    Ok so my parents are a bunch of conservatives. That being said... does anybody have any sort of help for me to tell my parents that I'm bi?

    why do you have to tell them?

    Do you live in the United States? DON'T DO IT!!! Lie to them forever, no matter what it takes to fool them. The price you will pay for telling the truth is not worth it. You will all end up miserable, and no good thing will ever come of it. I have seen this scenario played out too many times in American conservative culture.

    Many times, I have regretted letting my parents find out that I was promiscuous and into drugs in college. And they were socially moderate, by the standards of that time and place. They never had a clue that I had ever been with another girl, even one time. I learned my lesson, the hard way, and I didn't make the same mistake twice.

    Learning when to keep your goddamn mouth shut is an important life skill. I practice it every day.

    Why would you discuss your sexuality with your parents? I don't know anyone who does that. The only thing they need to know about is if you become involved in a serious relationship.

    my advice - don't

    being bisexual is something which is easily kept incognito

    being gay means having to 'out yourself'

    you will ultimately end up in a relationship with the sam sex.

    maybe it's foolish advice

    but i say - unless you start a relationship that begs the cause

    simply say nothing.

    exactly. i never felt compelled to inform my mom i was gay, and i'm open about my sexuality. it wasn't her business. in fact, i still haven't told her anything. if she's figured it out, that's that, if not, it still doesn't concern her one bit. and i don't feel the need to go up to her and 'talk' about it.

    i told my best friend (and a few others) and he was the only person whose opinion mattered to me.
